started overweight

I managed to lose 25 pounds before my pregnancy, but I was still about 15-20 pounds overweight when I found out I am pregnant. I have the healthy diet on lockdown, and I am exercising regularly. Obviously, I am not trying to lose weight now, but I was wondering if anyone had advice. Has anyone out there lost weight after pregnancy to get below their pre-pregnancy weight?

I'm 3 pp and i was already over weight when i got pregnant and then i gained 70 pounds during pregnancy. I am now trying to not only lose the pregnancy weight, but another 50 pounds to get to my goal weight. I've lost 30 so far, only 100 more to go! Ugh!

If you keep eating a high quality diet, in the correct amount to support your pregnancy (which is only about 300 calories over your base line) and keep exercising regularly, then you will not add on more that a few pounds of extra fat storage. Make sure you adjust your calories a bit on the days you exercise. By not over gaining now, you won't have extra to loose after your baby is born. Then when you can simply continue on with the healthy patterns that you've already established, which will be easy, and the last extra pounds that you want to lose will come off the healthy way, slow and steady.BeFit-Mom

I found out about Visalus Shakes at 8w pp. I've lost 50lbs while doing 1 a day thanks to the added burn of Breastfeeding. Every body is different, but just the nutrition is Amazing. cjblackvi@gmail.com if you want more info.

I was probably 35 lbs overweight when I got pregnant, and I only gained 9 the whole pregnancy. The first week after delivering I lost 10 lbs, and for the last eight months I have been monitoring my diet and exercise on myfitnesspal. That along with breast feeding has helped me lose 24 lbs on top of the initial 10. Honestly, losing the weight has not been that tough for me since giving birth, it's losing the jiggle that's the hardest.

I had lost 20 pounds before getting pregnant but still needed to lose 20 pounds. I kept up with working out and eating well. I gained 20 pounds while pregnant. I now have a 20 day old baby boy and I'm down 22.5 pounds and I haven't even been on a walk yet. My best advice is don't give up working out just listen to your body, don't start eating crap all the time eat as if you're maintaining your weight so a junk thing every few days but not everyday or every meal. Good luck and know it can be done. Weight loss is just on hold for 9 months or 41 weeks in my case. :-) you can do it!!!

I started obese (190), gained 22 during pregnancy, and was down to 177 one month pp.

I think a lot of that was exercising more, though it might also be that my husband's crazy metabolism encourages me to over eat. The extra calories burned by growing/feeding a baby are helping counter my husband taunting me with brownies at midnight.

I went from 239 to 183, then found out I was pregnant with my first. I was 250 when I gave birth and when my son was 9 months old, I had gotten down to 130! I started walking, then jogging, doing a video that involved light weights and cardio. I took most carbs and all sweets out of my diet and drank water constantly. You can do it!!!
